Genus Paper & Boards Limited announced the death of its Chairman and Non-Executive Director Ishwar Chand Agarwal on November 4, 2026, describing the passing as an irreparable loss to the company, its directors and employees, and extending heartfelt condolences to his family. Agarwal’s demise removes a steady, long-serving voice from the boardroom at a time when strategic oversight is crucial for the business. The company’s statement emphasized the grief felt across the organisation and paid tribute to his contributions to Genus Paper & Boards.
The loss creates a leadership void at the top echelons of governance, given Agarwal’s roles as chairman and non-executive director. The development is expected to influence board dynamics and governance considerations as the remaining directors reassess ongoing stewardship and decision-making processes during this period of transition.
As the company navigates this change, Genus Paper & Boards will need to establish interim governance arrangements and determine a path forward for filling the vacancy on the board. The board and management will align on how best to sustain oversight and strategic direction while honoring Agarwal’s legacy and contributions to the organisation.
Genus Paper & Boards Limited conveys its deepest condolences to Ishwar Chand Agarwal’s family and remembers a leader who helped shape the company’s journey. The board remains committed to continuity in governance and to upholding the standards of leadership that Agarwal helped establish.
